GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1992

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Heavier =/= metal.

Or are you going to tell me Godflesh is more metal than Black Sabbath now?

i know the'ye not metal, you inbred aussie. What im saying is is they are in comparison to those shitty pop-rock bands. I

 

[rms]

to say that the riffs are the driving force or the only factor on what determines an album genre and subgenre is really strange anyways if not just ridiculous

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Scream Bloody Gore is thrash metal too

 

[CiG]

Rage is more metal than most of the 80's hair pop rock that a bunch of you guys wank it to.

But RYM has early Motley Crüe as heavy metal? You previously used RYM to back up your claims about Coroner.

 

[Phylactery]

No it isn't, but it's hardly a straight up death metal album either. Like the majority of all early works of a genre, it has a lot of influence from other subgenres, mainly thrash in this case.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I don't know why you guys care about classification enough to rehash the same arguments for years on end, especially when we're talking about albums from emerging genres, since they're obviously gonna display heavy influences of their parent genres.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

You guys seem to think that influence = the actual music being played. Which is beyond ridiculous imo. Regardless of its influences, SBG is a 100% death metal album. The first one, at that!

 

[CiG]

You guys.

Uh no, just HBB.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I never understood why people call SBG very thrashy but not Pestilence. SBG doesn't have that much thrash to it. I'd say it's a majority death metal album.

 

[CiG]

I'm not sure how anybody expects a 100% death metal album to exist in the 1980's, the very period when death metal was being born from thrash metal. You're not going to get a death metal album with zero thrash in it.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

You guys.

Uh no, just HBB.

plenty of people here use the same logic to label their own favorite bands/albums here. It happens on a weekly basis and we get into arguments over it. Didn't say you, and definitely not crimson either. *I take that back

ahhhahha you just proved my point. thanks. now i can definitely include you in that crowd. can't even tell the difference between 80's death metal and 80's thrash/death

Wait what? I was criticising HBB for calling death metal albums thrash metal because it has a few thrashy elements. I'm agreeing with you.

 

[Phylactery]

I definitely consider there to be more than a "few thrashy elements" on Consuming Impulse. It's one of the few things I agree with HBB on, although I wouldn't call it a thrash metal album like he does.

 

[Krow]

This thread has shown me I need to revisit Samael. Blood Ritual has made a few lists.

I really like Samael's first three albums. Full of big chunky riffs for black metal.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Hey krow, how metal are the deathcore bands you listen to?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I don't think anyone here considers deathcore to be metal. Stop being a needlessly antagonistic douche.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

oh deathcore isnt metal?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

oh deathcore isnt metal?

No.
